Pranav Bakshi, Senior Vice President, Head of Digital Video, Strategy, Partnerships, and Marketing at Times Network, has decided to leave the company to pursue other opportunities.

He announced his departure from the group on LinkedIn at noon on Friday, saying, “With nearly a decade done! It’s time to say goodbye to the Times Network!”

He has not yet announced his next move.

Thanking his Times Network group colleagues, Bakshi further writes: “It’s been a pleasure to work & build out the digital business over the last 6 years! From just social to one of the top news sites & last year has been a journey to drive digital videos across platforms & partnerships! Growing 10-12x across genres of news, entertainment & infotainment!  All thanks to the guidance of Anand MK and from the management & editorial team Navika Kumar, Srivathsan S, Jignesh Kenia, Gaurav Dhawan, Anup Vishwanathan, Nikunj Dalmia, Mihir Bhatt, Jagdish, Rahul, Nikunj Garg, K Yegneshwara Iyer.”

The team behind it (Kranti Sambhav, Subhajit Sengupta, Neha Verma, Chetna Singh, Rudrani Chattoraj, Rajesh Sharma) will always be the biggest contributors to this success.”
